My current work in progress:

Strathendrick

After completing my last hat, I cast on for a large project: Strathendrick, an oversized sweater from Kate Davies’ West Highland Way Club, which is ongoing right now. The sweater uses hr new yarn, Milarrochy Tweed:

Here is my progress so far:

This is a slow knit — the yarn is a fine fingering weight and the row gauge is 36 rows /4″ so it takes a lot of knitting to see any progress. And I am making the largest size, which is more than 500 stitches around.

I love the pattern and I love the yarn. I think the combination of design + yarn + colors is perfection and it is a joy to knit!

I think that is one of the most beautiful projects you have done since I have been following you. Not that you haven’t done many nice ones, but I especially like this one. I look forward to seeing the completed garment.

I’m in awe of that sweater and of you knitting it. I can’t imagine knitting 2,275 yards of fingering yarn… and in stranded colorwork! I don’t think I could stick with it long enough to finish.
But yours is looking beautiful already, so I’ll just enjoy it vicariously through your work. It will be a real treasure when you’re finished.
And Loki is a treasure, too. He looks adorable on his sofa. :heart:
